Some history gossip
Kevin Vickery and a Mr. Wilson were the ones who started Pelicans and got lady swimmers recognised in AUSSI swimming. That stands for Australian Union of Senior Swimmers who were recognised by all international Fina swimming. Our first national carnival was at North Sydney outside 50mtr pool. The next year we took a healthy club to Adelaide, but the next year over in Perth we really rocked them. When we hit Brisbane they were poor loosers, then Melbourne tried to feed red wine without enough food. We took bus load to Brisbane and to Melbourne.
